Making these premium notes first:
- Shaka Heyward is day-to-day after undergoing a surgery after the season and his status to play in the Military Bowl next week is TBD. He's accepted an invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl, which indicates he's not returning to Duke next season -- but I've been hesitant to fully report that accepting those invitations means players aren't returning, since they can technically accept the invite and have a change of heart before the deadline to declare for the draft and maintain their eligibility.
- All 26 verbal commits are expected to sign tomorrow.
